When he got up early the next morning, Chen Yuan first went to visit that Xiao Suli.

There are indeed a lot of things to do now, such as the guys' affairs, such as the goods that are still in Wang Lun's place, such as dealing with the princess who is making trouble for herself.

No matter how many things there are, they must be done in the same way, and the priorities must be clearer.

The princess's trouble and the affairs of the guys, as long as you go to the princess's request tomorrow, it will naturally be solved, and it is best to push it off if there is a way, if there is no way, it will be more troublesome when you run away in the future.

It's okay to leave the goods with Wang Lun for a little longer, but if you make others feel like they're not here to do business, it's a big trouble. So it was necessary to go to Shossouri.

Xiao Suli is a typical businessman, with the title of uncle in Liao, and also holds a large official position, but he rarely goes to the court, and rarely goes to the yamen to perform his duties.

When Chen Yuan asked to see him in the morning, he was playing a set of boxing techniques in the courtyard, and looking at that posture was just practicing his body.

Xiao Suli is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, which is the same age as Chen Yuan, and he is also a kind person. After seeing Chen Yuan and them coming, he let him enter the back hall and greeted him very politely: "Master Chen is the first time to come to us, right?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, the villain came to Yanjing for the first time." ”

Xiao Suli smiled: "I heard that Master Chen beat that party member last night?" ”

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart, this matter spread very quickly, it happened so late last night, and this morning he even knew about this business?

Seeing Chen Yuan's expression, Xiao Suli said softly: "Yesterday, I happened to be at my sister's place, and when the emperor came up, he told my sister that those party members were beaten into pigs' heads by a caravan guy, and their appearance was even funny. I never thought that it was Master Chen who did it, and when I came out to inquire, I understood. It's just that I don't understand in my heart, we do business, and we have always paid attention to the fact that the people do not fight with the officials, why is Master Chen abnormal this time? ”

Chen Yuan sighed slightly: "It's just that I drank too much wine, and I couldn't stand those two people in words, so I was impulsive." By the way, the villain dares to ask the adult, the party has gone to the emperor? ”

Xiao Suli nodded: "Yes, but Master Chen don't worry, the emperor just came back as a joke and said it, and he looked even happy." I heard that the ninth prince also spoke for you, and Song Qi also sent a letter of state soon, explaining to the emperor what happened, and I don't think I will delve into you. ”

Chen Yuan clenched his fists and said: "Lord Xiao, it is really reckless for a while, if there is any trouble in the future, I hope that Lord Xiao will help you." ”

Xiao Suli said with a smile: "Master Chen, this is the wrong person, he is famous in Liao, he doesn't care about the world, and he is dedicated to making money." But I don't think you will have any trouble, the activities of the party members are very powerful, the emperor can't stand it for a long time, and it is not bad that you can make them honest for a few days. ”

While speaking, the maid brought tea, and Xiao Suli looked at Chen Yuan and Pang Xi: "Manager Pang is an acquaintance, don't be polite." I'll talk to the shopkeeper Chen about buying and selling, Master Chen, I'll tell you the truth, this time your price seems to be a little high. We didn't have a precedent for this before! ”

Xiao Suli began to talk about business, which meant that he was unwilling to help.

Chen Yuan won't say anything more, since he talks about business, he has to talk about business: "Lord Xiao, you know the current market, the Great Song Dynasty border check is very tight, so the goods are very tight, and it is not easy for us to pull these things, and the cost on the road is more than before, and the price will naturally rise a little." ”

The two sides began to bargain, and the process was dry and challenging. It's boring because in this long negotiation, you have to face the same people, repeat the same reasons back and forth, until someone compromises their position.

Fortunately, the two sides have already dealt with each other, and they are very sincere, and after talking for more than an hour, the matter was settled.

After the two parties agreed on the price, place and time of the transaction, Xiao Suli asked them to eat at home, but Chen Yuan politely declined. He really has a lot of things to do, and there are a lot of things that he can't let go of in his heart.

When Chen Yuan left, Xiao Suli just sent it to the hall, and after seeing Chen Yuan's figure disappear from his sight, Xiao Suli coughed lightly, and a middle-aged man in a black coat flashed in through the small door next to him.

After the man came in, he bowed to Xiao Suli: "Uncle Guo, how is it?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Suli's mouth: "It's a businessman, don't doubt it." ”

The man smiled: "The little one will go back to the palace to report to the emperor now." ”

Xiao Suli stopped the man: "Lord Zhang, how did the emperor think of finding out this person?" ”

Master Zhang said: "Yesterday after he beat that Zhang Yuan Wu Hao, the emperor was also very interested in him, the ninth prince and the princess praised this person for being alert, and I heard that they were recruiting this person, the emperor was afraid that the young man would not do anything properly, so let us put the door open." ”

Xiao Suli nodded: "Well, in fact, the emperor is too worried, we all know the surname of the ninth prince, if this Chen Shimei is not extraordinary, it is difficult for him to value it so much." ”

A glint flashed in the adult's eyes: "After all, are you still young, you are saying, from the Song Dynasty, it is natural to check it." ”

Chen Yuan, who left Xiao Suli's mansion, immediately went to find Na Wang Lun with Pang Xi, pulled the goods and sold them to Xiao Suli, and then collected some fur and other groceries.

Although doing business is just a cover to disguise their true purpose, at least the façade should be propped up so that people can see that they are here to do business.

The inn where Wang Lun stayed was not as pompous as the "first one", after all, for Yanjing, a caravan like them was just a passerby, and if Chen Yuan hadn't been taken care of by Yelu Niglu, it would have been impossible to book a room there.

The thing here is very simple, they took their goods from here, and Chen Yuan also asked Pang Xi to drop two carts of salt, which can be regarded as a reward for Wang Lun.

People send the freight to Yanjing, and the freight can't be upside down. What's more, Chen Yuan didn't care about these two truckloads of salt, he didn't care about this transaction at all.

Wang Lun was not polite, affection is affection, business is business, Chen Yuan pulled the goods away, and he also wanted the remaining two cars.

Then, I invited Wang Lun and a few of them to dinner to express their gratitude.

At the wine table, Wang Lun and the others also talked about Chen Yuan's beating of the party envoy, and their attitudes were completely different from Xiao Suli's, most of them were admiring Chen Yuan, and the strong man named Li Tiegun even said: "Chen is in charge, Lao Li was not there at that time, if Lao Li knew about it yesterday, I guarantee that those people will not be just pigs' heads!" ”

A scholar-like person next to him said: "If there is really a human life, it will be troublesome, but I heard that after the shopkeeper Chen made a move, then Song Qi watched from the wall, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "It's all rumors from the outside world, you can't take it seriously." ”

The other snorted angrily: "Those dignitaries and nobles, they only know how to chant poems and oppress the people, and when the real fist comes, it is strange that he has the courage to make a move!" If I were the shopkeeper of Chen, watching them being beaten to death by the party members would also be a bad breath in my chest! ”

The scholar interrupted and said: "No, Brother Guo's words are ridiculous, I think that Song Qi is the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, if he is beaten, the Liao people who are all over the street today will definitely laugh at us Song people, and our faces are all disgraceful." ”

Chen Yuan couldn't help but glance at the scholar, this person's thoughts were actually the same as his own, and he also wanted to make friends in his heart: "Dare to ask this brother's surname?" ”

The scholar smiled at Chen Yuan: "The surname is the party, and the name is a gentleman." ”

Compared with the recklessness of Li Tiegun and the surname Guo, Wang Lun and the party gentleman are much more stable.

Especially Wang Lun, when Chen Yuan saw this person for the first time, he felt that he was not simple, not like a businessman who sold goods.

The party gentlemen under him are obviously wise men, Li Tiegun and Guo Miaoshan know at a glance that they are brave people, as for Wang Lun himself, he is also burly, and he is a deep person, so Chen Yuan always feels a little incomprehensible about him.

When everyone was discussing what happened yesterday, Wang Lun asked worriedly: "Shopkeeper Chen, the party will definitely not give up on this matter, I heard that nearly 100 of your buddies were arrested by the Liao soldiers, I don't know if Shopkeeper Chen has a rescue strategy?" ”

Chen Yuan said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, I have already entrusted someone to do it, and I think I should be able to rescue people tomorrow." ”

Wang Lun nodded: "That's good, if Shopkeeper Chen has anything to ask us to help with, you can speak." ”

It was already past noon when they came back from dinner, and the guys were in a very bad mood, so many companions were captured by the Liao soldiers, although Chen Yuan promised them that they could rescue people, but the big guy would not believe too much in the promise in his heart.

Yang Wenguang told Chen Yuan that if the guys really can't come back tomorrow, some people in the team may not be able to calm their emotions.

Chen Yuan really didn't want to go to the princess to be an escort in the East Palace, but he couldn't think of a way to push it off, Yelu Ling had already said that if Chen Yuan didn't go, she would kill someone. This is not a threatening word, this woman looks like a princess who is used to domineering, and when she says it, Chen Yuan will definitely not suspect that she can't do it.

For this reason, Chen Yuan was distressed.

Yelu Niu, who received the news, also came, and when she saw Chen Yuan's appearance, she was relieved: "Brother Chen, accompany you in the East Palace, this is the position that many people in our Liao Kingdom want, to be honest, if you are not named by the princess herself, you may not even be qualified to sign up." ”

Chen Yuan glanced at him fiercely: "Ninth Prince, I am just a trader in the next place, I will do a good job in this transaction, sell the goods, and then collect enough sheepskin and wool, I will be ready to go back, if I want to be an official, I would have already gone to the Song Dynasty to take the top prize." I just don't understand, if the ninth prince can see it clearly, why do you have to bet with that princess? ”

Yelu Ne grunted a little apologetically: "Brother Chen, my imperial sister is a little rude, and there is something offended, I hope Brother Chen will not be surprised." ”

Chen Yuan looked up at him: "Why don't you seem to be afraid of losing to her at all?" ”

Jerüne grinned, but did not answer. Liao Xingzong is even ready to give him the country, what other bets do you have to take care of?

Chen Yuan didn't ask anymore, and sighed deeply: "Alas, if I knew this, I might as well take the top prize in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yelu Ne grunted when he heard him say this, and immediately raised his head: "Brother Chen's words are different, what is wrong with my Liao country?" Soldiers are strong! Our emperor is wise and martial, how can he be compared to the faint monarch of the Song Dynasty? If Brother Chen is an escort in the East Palace, even if I become the emperor in the future, I will definitely reuse Brother Chen. ”

Chen Yuan sighed deeply: "Ninth Prince, I beg you to show me a way for the sake of me helping you deal with Yelu Shubao, okay?" ”

Yelu Ne looked at him for a long time, and finally shook his head slightly: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, I just hope that Brother Chen will remember that if you want to be an official in the future, come to me directly." I promise to let you be under one and above ten thousand! ”

Chen Yuan nodded absentmindedly and asked eagerly, "Is there any way not to be the companion of the East Palace?" ”

Yelu Ne said: "The selection of the prince's accompaniment is very strict, in terms of intelligence, I believe that Brother Chen has no problem, besides, the princess has already said that as long as you go, she will handle the rest." ”

Chen Yuan hurriedly stopped: "You just say how I excuse myself." ”

Yelune sighed, very disappointed that Chen Yuan didn't want to be an official in the Liao Kingdom. But he also knew that it might be even more inappropriate to forcibly leave Chen Yuan behind like a princess.

So he said: "Brother Chen, in addition to intelligence, the main thing is the body. Those who accompany the prince to study must be in good health, and it is impossible to get sick. ”

Chen Yuan said: "I've already seen the princess, and it's too late to pretend to be sick now!" ”

Jerüne grunted and nodded: "In addition to the body, there are many minor problems that cannot be selected, such as missing teeth. ”
